Have you had your JOY JUICE today? Savor the flavor…and prepare your heart and
your thoughts for the beauty of Christmas.
Christmas is right around the corner. 28 days to be exact! Before the rush begins,
let’s determine to make this Christmas season different…in a good way! Here are three simple suggestions:
1. Find
at least 10 minutes in the day to ponder the reason for the season. There are many good devotional books and
Christmas inspirational stories we can find. Of course, the BEST book of all is the Holy
Bible. Reading the story of Jesus’ birth never gets old.
2. Decide
to do one thing during the Christmas season that you have not done before. Think about the people God has brought into
your life who might need a helping hand….maybe to help them in some way to
prepare for Christmas. What a great way
to show the JOY of the Jesus by sharing His love in this way.
3. Find
a good children’s book that tells the story of the first Christmas and read it
to a child or group of children.
Teachers and parents are always looking for volunteers…at school, at
church or at home. What memories you’ll
be making for those little ones! And you
will receive a blessing of JOY in return!
Hopefully, these simple suggestions
will spark your creativity and help you to think of new ways to share bits of
JOY throughout the holidays. Don’t get
stressed! Instead be BLESSED with the opportunities God places before you.
As Luke 2: 10 tells us: “Fear
not, for behold, I bring you good news of a great joy that will be for all the
people.”
